EAPS 63300 - Synoptic Scale Dynamics


Credit Hours: 4.00. A review of the climatology of synoptic scale systems. An in-depth study of their kinematic properties, including horizontal wind, vorticity, divergence, and vertical motion fields. An analysis of processes influencing the growth and decay of synoptic systems with emphasis on the energetics of open atmospheric systems. Prior coursework in synoptic labs and advanced differential equations is required. Typically offered Fall Spring.
